The low level product infeed palletizer Fluens with vertical lift pallet loading
Packs are fed on two or more lanes, combined in layer patterns and transferred straight in-line onto the pallet. The layer formation is achieved using a pack distributing system: either through a continuously moving traditional divider or using a robotized pack manipulator.
Once shaped, the layer is transferred onto an intermediate table which brings it up to the unloading level on the pallet. The intermediate table consists of a comb-shaped steel structure. On the upper part of the machine, a similar comb-shaped table, installed on a mobile bridge, collects the layer once the intermediate table has reached the top height (patented system).
A pusher-compactor, fixed to the mobile table, transfers the layer from the formation zone to the mobile table. A second pusher, installed on the upper part of the machine, transfers the layer from the mobile table to the discharge head, which positions it on the pallet. The discharge head, featuring a central opening with rollers, is set at a fixed height. The pallet is placed on a lifter that moves vertically to receive the layer.
Fluens uses belt transmission where possible to reduce noise and eliminate the need for lubrication. The design allows the system to be configured simply as required and gives open access to all parts of the machine for easy set up and maintenance.
Production capacity:
- up to 8 layers/min for Fluens LL (Low Level version)
- up to 10 layers/min for Fluens HL (High Level version)

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
